Q. WHAT THINGS WERE YOU INVOLVED IN AT AC? A. I really liked my time at AC. The small size made it possible to get involved in all sorts of activities and I took advantage of as many as I could. I played on a bunch of sports teams and was in Wind Ensemble + Jazz Band. I even participated in some of the theater productions despite my extraordinary lack of talent in that space.

For the first time in HAC athletics history, the HAC varsity boys team has won the Section C Class B4 Sectional Title. Going into the last event, the 4 x 400 meter relay, the title was in contention between HAC and Byron-Bergen, with HAC ahead by nine points. In order for HAC to lose the title, Byron-Bergen would have to place first and HAC not place in the points. The relay team placed second, clinching the victory for HAC in the last event. Notable performances include that of senior Aidan Bogue, who won the 110 meter hurdles as well as serving as the third leg of the 4 x 400 relay previously mentioned. Ale Bosa was a part of the same 4 x 400 meter relay team, serving as the second leg. Jack Bogue ran the 400 meters hurdles, Marc Voloshin ran the 400 meter dash, and Tommy Duver threw the shot put and discus. The members of the HAC varsity boys track team from AC are Aidan Bogue, Jack Bogue, Ale Bosa, Patrick Cusanno, Jack Diehl, Tommy Duver, Carter Previte, Eric Roof, Ben Sleggs, Chris Smoker, Marc Voloshin, and Tristan Walsh.
